Cutting it up

I need all of the info I can get about cutting off the rear cab of my 2 door XJ. I am a little scared to be cutting into it but I have seen it done. If any one out there can help please email me at [email protected]
thanks
dan

Allot of work. Feel free to PM me with questions, I will try to help. Plan on welding, and cage work.

So how much are you going to cut off?

Mark,

Would ya quit with the same teaser shot of that thing already!!! Can't you post some progress shots? I gotts to see how the heck you're keeping that thing from folding in half!

Rev Dan, that is sick man. Does it still have the back seat in it like a wrangler? What about a top for it? DO you have a custom soft top? IS it possible to make it with a wrangler style cage? Did you consider that style or is what you have what you wanted? Just curious and thinking about that. About how long did it take you to do that? What all did it require? Did you have to fab alot of parts? Thanks for any info on your Jeep.

Thanks. First.....it's DEN not Dan....now...

No back seat, I did not need one.

I had a custom (read $$$) top made.

You could use a Wrangler style cage....I like this look better, this is exactlly as I envisioned it.

It took about a month to get to where it is...you could work faster...or slower. It required tubing, welding, a "cage man", some steel plate, and BALLS (thanks Beezil). Everything related to the chop had to be fabbed....I used a race shop for the cage bending, everything else I did (thats why no close-ups) it looks pretty good from 20 feet away.
